i can help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so first what you want to do is get like fractions, right?

OpenStudy (elise_a18):

On the first one, find the least common multiple

OpenStudy (elise_a18):

Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so one you do that tell me

OpenStudy (elise_a18):

Okay and what would the problem be now? with the least common multiple in place?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that would have to simplify it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the least common multiple between 3 and 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (elise_a18):

The least common multiple is 9 yes. So now the equation would be\[-3\frac{ 1 }{ 9} + 8 \frac{ 3 }{ 9 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct. so what you want to change the denominators to the same like fractions it should look like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Elise_a18 do you want me to find the number to it?

OpenStudy (elise_a18):

yep, an improper fraction :)
